Formula & How Gear Ratio & RPM Calculator Works

Mathematical Formula
Gear Ratio = Teeth (Driven) / Teeth (Driver)

Speed reduction occurs when driven gear is larger than driver gear, increasing torque proportionally.

How to Calculate Gear Ratio & RPM Calculator (Step-by-Step)
  1. Enter Driver Gear Teeth (Input): Input your target parameter value.
  2. Enter Driven Gear Teeth (Output): Input your target parameter value.
  3. Enter Input Motor Speed (RPM): Input your target parameter value.
  4. Apply Formula: Calculate using Gear Ratio = Teeth (Driven) / Teeth (Driver).
  5. Review Results: View exact computed answers, metrics, and worked mathematical proofs.
